The 19Th Century

Massive fragments of portals, mouldings, and columns which are stored in stone collections and museum storage rooms are today of no particular interest. They spur the visitors’ imagination only slightly; there, just a piece of stone, carved, yet incomplete, broken. Can this legacy, difficult in perception, be shown in a different way and made memorable? Can it be made close to the audience? The concepts of the pioneers of conservation of historical objects are worth referencing. Realized concepts testify for an attitude of respect towards the legacy and traditions. Gothic architectural details that were abandoned during demolitions of historical structures in the 19th century, have survived elsewhere, “incrusted” in other structures. It happened in the walls of Collegium Maius, The Bishop Erazm Ciołek Palace, Pusłowscy Palace, Lubomirscy Palace, Tadeusz Stryjeński Palace. They were often treated as native relics. Saved from destruction and from being forgotten they adorn facades, interiors and gardens. Perhaps the idea and the examples of stone collections will spur a reflection and inspiration in designers today.

The world’s first steel structures were built towards the end of the 19th century. Some of them are still in use today, whereas others are maintained as precious technical heritage. In both cases, there may be a need to assess their technical condition and carry out repairs and reinforcements, which requires an understanding of the properties of the steel used. The few studies that have been undertaken of such steel structures indicate that the properties depend on the history of use. This paper presents the results of metallographic tests of a steel tank in a water tower built in 1884 in Lower Silesia. The chemical composition was consistent with that of the puddled steel used in the 19th century. The carbon content showed significant segregation and ranged from 0.011% to 0.072% mass. As a consequence, a typical microstructure for low-carbon steels (ferritic) was observed, changing locally to ferritic-pearlitic. The tested steel contained a very high content of phosphorus and silicon. The microstructure with numerous slags favoured the formation of surface delamination caused by the corrosion processes. The degree of corrosion of the steel of the tank was also assessed, as well as the type of corrosion inside the tank. Corrosion was favoured by the oxygen concentration cell. The results of the research will be used to assess the potential for continuing tank use and the reinforcements that have been planned. The results presented will add to the somewhat limited research results available for steel dating back to the 19th century, which is still present in many building structures. Such a database is especially needed by those designing technical measures aimed at maintaining these historical structures in good technical condition.

The present research is performed based on the method of source analysis with the objective to study a cultural and historical heritage of the manor at the end of the XIX century. In the Latvian State Historical Archives documents (questionnaires of the All-Russian population census in 1897) contain information about manor and buildings which were once purchased by S. Kierbed. This research study does not confirm the widespread assertion that Eugenia Kerbedz substantially renovated Riebiņi castle at the end of the 19th century for the work and recreation of artists. The cultural-historical objects mentioned in the paper their potential, including the tourism industry, is not being used. The population census records are useful for family research.

The present research is based on the method of source analysis, and its objective is to study a cultural and historical heritage of the manor of the end of the 19th century. In the documents of the Latvian State Historical Archives (the Russian Imperial Census of 1897) contain information about the manor and the buildings that had ben purchased by S. Kierbedz and M. Reut. The research does not confirm the widespread assertion that Eugenia Kerbedz has substantially renovated Riebiņi castle at the end of the 19th century for the work and recreation of the artists. The cultural-historical objects mentioned in the paper are not properly maintained today, and their potential regarding the tourism industry is not deployed. The potential of use depends on the type of use and location, as well as their technical condition. The census records are useful for family research.

In this paper, we analyse features of the grammatical descriptions in Manchu grammar books from the Qing Dynasty. Manchu grammar books exemplify how Chinese scholars gave Chinese names to grammatical concepts in Manchu such as case, conjugation, and derivation which exist in agglutinating languages but not in isolating languages. A thorough examination reveals that Chinese scholarly understanding of Manchu grammar at the time had attained a high degree of sophistication. We conclude that the reason they did not apply modern grammatical concepts until the end of the 19th century was not a lack of ability but because the object of their grammatical descriptions was Chinese, a typical isolating language.

Levantine immigration to Chile started during the last quarter of the 19th century. This immigration, almost exclusively male at the outset, changed at the beginning of the 20th century when women started following their fathers, brothers, and husbands to the New World. Defining the role and status of the Arab woman within her community in Chile has never before been tackled in a detailed study. This article attempts to broach the subject by looking at Arabic newspapers published in Chile between 1912 and the end of the 1920s. A thematic analysis of articles dealing with the question of women or written by women, appearing in publications such as Al-Murshid, Asch-Schabibat, Al-Watan, and Oriente, will be discussed.

Purpose. The purpose of the article is to analyze and systematize the views of social and political thinkers of Galicia in the 19th - beginning of the 20th centuries. on the right and manner of organizing a nation-state as a cathedral. Method. The methodology includes a set of general scientific, special legal, special historical and philosophical methods of scientific knowledge, as well as the principles of objectivity, historicism, systematic and comprehensive. The problem-chronological approach made it possible to identify the main stages of the evolution of the content of the idea of catholicity in Galicia's legal thought of the 19th century. Results. It is established that the idea of catholicity, which was borrowed from church terminology, during the nineteenth century. acquired clear legal and philosophical features that turned it into an effective principle of achieving state unity and integrity. For the Ukrainian statesmen of the 19th century. the idea of catholicity became fundamental in view of the separation of Ukrainians between the Russian and Austro-Hungarian empires. The idea of unity of Ukrainians of Galicia and the Dnieper region, formulated for the first time by the members of the Russian Trinity, underwent a long evolution and received theoretical reflection in the work of Bachynsky's «Ukraine irredenta». It is established that catholicity should be understood as a legal principle, according to which decisions are made in dialogue, by consensus, and thus able to satisfy the absolute majority of citizens of the state. For Galician Ukrainians, the principle of unity in the nineteenth century. implemented through the prism of «state» and «international» approaches. Scientific novelty. The main stages of formation and development of the idea of catholicity in the views of social and political figures of Halychyna of the XIX – beginning of the XX centuries are highlighted in the work. and highlighting the distinctive features of «national statehood» that they promoted and understood as possible in the process of unification of Ukrainian lands into one state. Practical significance. The results of the study can be used in further historical and legal studies, preparation of special courses.

 Bodyweight exercises (also popularly known as calisthenics) is a classic training method and its practice has been widespread since the 19th century, but little evidenced in the scientific literature over the years. This type of training aims to promote multi-system adaptations using body weight as an overload with no or few implements [1–3]. This characteristic makes exercise with body weight easy to apply, in addition to having an excellent cost-benefit ratio when compared to other training possibilities that require machines or materials [4,5].
